ATTACHMENT r011 SOCKET WRENCI-IES Application filed July 18, 1924. Serial No. 726,804.

To (472 10720212 it may-concern:

x3e it known that I, CHARLES V. Bnoosn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tyrone, in the county of Blair and State of Peunsylx ania,have invented new and useful Improvements in an Attachment for Socket. Wrenches, of which the following is a spec1-,

vantages in View, the invention consists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, Wherein: r

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a socket wrench constructed in accordance with my invention, i 1

Fig. '2 is a longitudinal section with a portion in elevation,

Fig. 3 is afront elevation, and

Pig. 4 is a detail cross-section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2. r

Referring more particularly to the drawings. I have shown my device as comprising an elongated shank 10 atone end of which is formed or secured a head 11 provided with a socket 12 of any desired configure tion and size adapted to be engaged upon the nuts to be removed from bolts. Obviously, the socketmay be engaged upon the heads of bolts if desired. At one side the shank is formed with an elongated groove 2-3 and the head'is formed with a hole 14 registering with the groove for a purpose to be described.

Slidably mounted upon and encircling the shank 10 1s a ring or collar 15 to which 1s therein as is so secured one end of an elongated rod 16 which is shdable through the hole '14 and Which is formed at its other end with-in thesocket l2 withya' convolution 17 of any desired size I amlshapej v p In the use of the device, it is apparent'tliat when the socket 12 is engaged upon. a nut or bolt head and the nut or bolt unscrewed in the usual manner, inorder to street ejection f of the nut or bolt asthe case may be, it is merely necessary. that the operator press the is'zaoviz collar or-ring 15 toward thehead ll, whereupon the coil or convolution 17 will engage essary-that the ejector be actually retracted by hand inasmuch as el'igagement of the socketupon a nut or bolt head force the ejector rearivardly.

against the nut, or bolt head and force the same out of the socket. It'lsnot really necwill act to From the foregoing description and a" study of-the drawings, it Will be apparent inexpensive vdevice for the purpose specified which will be highly efficient' and which In a device of the character described, an

elongated shank terminating atone end in a "head having a socket therein adapted for.

engagement upon a nutor bolt head, the head having a'hole therethrough extending into the socket and the shank having a move alining'ivith said hole, and an ejector 'includin a rod slidably mounted along; s

that I have thus provided a very simple and groove and through said hole andterminatiug at one end in a convolution locatedivitlu in the socket. and a collar slidably surrounding the shank and secured to the other end oi the rod.

In testin'iony whereof I aflix my signature.
